Real Property • Easements
PROP#123
Legal Definition
While an easement is an interest in land, a license is merely a privilege. A license is personal to the licensee and inalienable. Any attempt to transfer a license results in revocation by operation of law.
Plain English Explanation
This may be getting redundant because we've had a few cards talk about the difference between easements and licenses, but it is super important that you have a clear understanding of them.
An easement carries the weight of the law behind it, while a license is just a permission slip that can be revoked at any point and can not be transferred to someone else.
